SOTM 2010 - July (Flight) - Voting Thread

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/1408/sotm1.jpg
!!!Welcome to the SOTM!!!

This is the Voting Phase for the July SOTM Contest.
Please read the following rules very carefully before casting your vote for your favorite entries.

The Voting Process - How do I vote?:

1. Look at all the entries in the second post, and pick one, two, or three that you like.

2. Take the number and name of the entries you like.

3. Make a single post with the number and name of the entries you are voting for.

Format for Voting - How do I correctly cast my vote?:

When you make your vote, please use the number of the entry and the name of contestant. Example:

I will tally the votes during the contest and once again at the end of the contest. The winner will be announced when the final day for voting passes.

Voting Rules - Things every potential voter should know:

1. You can vote for up to three of your favorite entries. You do not *need* to vote for more than one, but you can vote up to three if you wish.

2. All votes are equal. I will remove votes from anyone attempting to influence others vote choice.

3. Do not confuse the voting process by changing your votes or by trying to vote more than once. It's a simple format, and if you don't follow it, I won't count your vote.

4. You can vote for yourself, but we'd rather you didn't. If you are going to vote for yourself, you must vote for at least one other person.

5. In the event of a tie, there will be a second voting process. If that voting also results in a tie, the contestants in that poll will all be declared winners and will decide together what the theme for the next contest is. If they cannot decide by the time the contest begins for the next month, the organizer will decide based on community input.

6. To cut down on any potential cheating, any accounts registered a week before, and up through, the voting period are not eligible to vote. The exception to this rule is any account with an entry in the contest.

*I reserve the right to reject votes if I deem any account suspicious.*

Voting begins on Sunday, July 25th, 2010, at 12:00pm, and ends the following Sunday, August 1st, 2010, at 12:00pm.

The timezone I am using is UTC/GMT.

Use this site to figure out what time that is in your timezone: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx

That's it! You can comment in this thread, but I will not tolerate any vote swaying or contest rigging. Any suspicious activity will be reported to the mods, so please, keep this clean and fair.

Questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions about the general voting phase or how the contest is run can be directed to me using the private message function or to the SOTM Generic Discussion Thread. Drama is not tolerated, so be civil. *If it's a concern about a contestant or entry, please PM me before discussing it publicly.* Thank you.

ANYONE NOT FOLLOWING THE VOTING PROCESS WILL NOT HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Good luck contestants, and most importantly, have fun!

Each of you have done phenomenal work. Maybe some day, I can manage to get a sig worthy of standing amongst yours. Good luck to each and every one of you.

14. Namiey--So pretty pretty ^_^ Smooth and clean
18. imbehindyou--awesome theme interpretation and pure win on Nyanko-sensei
16. Naoto--Great colors and use of render/background/text

Spoiler:

All of them need a lot of work, but I'm going to have to go with the following three:

13) Abet17

Good blending, the theme is expressed in a different way, more abstract than the others. I wish there was more to the sig, it's a bit too flat. But I think execution went pretty well

3) ganbaru
http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6905/firstdw.jpg

You could've made this sig so much better if you had blended the render in and added some more distortion effects. But it's smooth now.

6) Patchy
http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/9748/ayasotm3.jpg

One of the better looking sigs up there, it's a bit monotone and needs a color balance and lighting should be fixed. The sig is a bit on the boarder from being off-theme, seeing as it's not so focused on flight (I mean the render has wings, but meh). Looks nice nonetheless.

@ xl Legit lx the number than you are supposed to write isn't the order of preference, but the number of the entry on Solace's entry.

Alright I fixed.

@Whoever took mah cookies away (lol, people use cookies here) A PM would've been helpful so I knew who to reply to.

Just so you know critique is based on preference, and that was my preference. You have yours, no need to be disrespectful. I didn't call anything crap, I said they need work. I'm not the best artist either, but I like to share tips. Maybe you should stop hiding behind a computer and just talk to me, instead of judging a single post.
